I was curious how much activity was on the galciv1 site. Hardly any. Galciv2 has quite a bit of activity for being out for around 8 years. But galciv3 is a rare occurrence. The faithful fans that I can count on my fingers after all these years endure the wait with me. Right now it's at the Alpha, but as the development gets closer to completion and word gets around the web hundreds of thousands will become potential buddies and karma givers. (there going to need veterans to help with there problems 
)
we really should appreciate our status right now with the devs we hear things first, influence whole aspects and creation of the game, and we keep there spirits high so they dont get developer depression. 
Soon the forums will be cluttered with opinions, posts, and demands once again. All of it being posted faster than you could ever read.
Its great that stardock has allowed us to test the alpha, and make friends over the year until release. For now it's relatively quiet... This is the last day for that. More are coming.
